Storing Up Treasures in Heaven: Arbor Christian Fellowship Celebrates Another Incredible Awana Year
Arbor Christian Fellowship concluded another incredible year of Awana with two memorable celebrations: the Spring Awana Store and Awards & Parents Night. Children spent Awana Dollars earned through memorizing hundreds of Bible verses, while some chose to invest their earnings in Kingdom work by supporting church-planting missionaries through the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering. Families also gathered to celebrate the accomplishments of Cubbies, Sparks, T&Ters (Truth & Training) and Trek students through Scripture recitations, songs, awards and stories of God's work throughout the year. From more than 1,000 verses memorized by T&T clubbers to Trekkers serving younger students—and from Cubbies reciting John 3:16 to Sparks reciting Psalm 23—the evening highlighted lives being shaped by God's Word and the lasting impact of a ministry dedicated to helping children know, love and live out the truth of Scripture for themselves.
Kids Alive Takes Families on an Intergalactic Adventure Through God’s Word
During Kids Alive Presentation Weekend on May 16–17, children at Arbor Christian Fellowship brought Star Quest: Search for the Stolen Scriptures to life through energetic singing, drama, choreography, gymnastics and Scripture memory, reminding audiences that God’s Word can never truly be erased when it is hidden in our hearts. Set in a futuristic world where the Bible exists only in an “Intergalactic Bible Database,” the musical combined humor, movement and biblical truth while showcasing the confidence, joy and spiritual growth of children from kindergarten through sixth grade. Supported by family, friends and church members, the weekend celebrated not only an unforgettable performance, but also 38 years of Kids Alive helping children worship God through music, movement, memorization and joyful discipleship.
Kids Alive Presents “Star Quest” — A Scripture Memory Musical Adventure into Space at Arbor Christian Fellowship
Arbor Christian Fellowship’s Kids Alive ministry invites families to experience Star Quest: Search for the Stolen Scriptures, a Scripture memory musical performed May 16–17, 2026. Celebrating 38 years of ministry to children, Kids Alive brings together music, choreography, storytelling, and Bible-centered teaching in an intergalactic adventure aboard ship J-316, where young performers share God’s Word “to the universe.” Featuring heartfelt reflections from parents and kids alike, this production highlights a lasting legacy of faith, friendship, and spiritual growth as children learn, worship, and proclaim Scripture with joy.
From Sacrifice to Service: A Memorial Day Sunday of Remembrance and Missions at Arbor Christian Fellowship
Arbor Christian Fellowship’s Memorial Day Weekend service was a profound time of honor, remembrance, and celebration, as the church paid tribute to fallen heroes, including Army Sgt. R.L. Taylor—whose remains were recently returned home after over 80 years—and U.S. Marine Corps Lance Corporal Bryce William Smith (1995–2015), the beloved grandson of longtime member Beverly Dickson. The service honored Gold Star mother Jamie Luchay, celebrated the return of the church’s mission team from the Philippines, and shared powerful testimonies of God’s miraculous provision and movement overseas. From hosting nearly 200 children and their parents at Vacation Bible School to offering overnight hospitality that led to late-night conversations and prayer, the mission team saw God work in extraordinary ways—reminding all that nothing is too difficult for Him (Jeremiah 32:27).
